Ahh...I remember back in June, I went into a local store where they had a pre-Gibson Tobias 6er. I didn't like the neck, but when the guy behind the counter told me $750 I was sold. I should have laid down the $300 had on me right then as a deposit, getting him to right it up ASAP, but instead I stepped outside to call and check my available funds. Dammet. When I walked back in the owner came from the back and said the sales guy was wrong. It was supposed to be $2250. The thought of missing that one still brings a tear to my eye.

I obtained a 5 string pre gibson tobias growler in a trade. My singer was talking to a guy he works with and he mentioned I had a (check, checz?) spector to the guy. Somehow I mentioned I was looking to get rid of the Spector and my singer mentioned it to him. he was very interested but had no money so he asked my singer if I was interested in a trade. We switched basses for a try out and out comes the growler. We traded even up. No cash exchanged.
